The Dylan Avery Code?

With The Da Vinci code coming out, I couldn't help making mental connections with the 9/11 conspiracy theory crowd. Roger Ebert, who previously gave Loose Change a thumb down, says what we were all thinking. Thanks to reader, Chris, for the tip.

They say The Da Vinci Code has sold more copies than any book since the Bible. Good thing it has a different ending. Dan Brown's novel is utterly preposterous; Ron Howard's movie is preposterously entertaining. Both contain accusations against the Catholic Church and its order of Opus Dei that would be scandalous if anyone of sound mind could possibly entertain them. I know there are people who believe Brown's fantasies about the Holy Grail, the descendants of Jesus, the Knights Templar, Opus Dei and the true story of Mary Magdalene. This has the advantage of distracting them from the theory that the Pentagon was not hit by an airplane.

I bet the people posting on here who say 9/11 was a conspiracy think Dan Brown is onto something.

While the rest of his with knowledge of history know it's all nonsense.

"I wonder if Roger Ebert bothered to read up on the 9/11 Commission. If only the 9/11 Commission had tried to be 10% as honest and scrupulous as Loose Change."

Ten percent as honest? You can't divide zero, honey.
